Batteries

Allen's curbside recycling program does not accept batteries of any kind. Alkaline batteries (AAA, AA, C, D, 9-volt, 12-volt) should be thrown in the trash. Car batteries are accepted in the City of Allen’s HHW collection program. Rechargeable batteries such as Nickel-Cadmium, Lithium Ion, button cell or Nickel Metal Hydride should be recycled at local electronic or home improvement stores.
